Matthew Lopez' Arven (The Inheritance) is staged in two consecutive parts in a single marathon day, running from 13:30 to 22:00. The production explores how the trauma and memory of the AIDS epidemic are passed down through generations of gay men, weaving together past and present in a sweeping theatrical narrative.
The play, originally written in English by Matthew Lopez and here presented in Danish, has been internationally celebrated for its emotional depth and epic scope. Audiences are invited to experience both parts on the same day, making it an immersive full-day theatrical event.
Performances take place at Skuespilhuset — the Royal Danish Playhouse — in Copenhagen, across seven dates from late September through mid-October 2026.
